In the 1970’s when the Law Enforcement Assistance
Administration (L.E.A.A., a federal revamping steamroller) swept through the
nation, they were required to have “citizen participation” for what they
were about to achieve. The ‘milestones’ that were assigned to them to achieve
were to create (serious) alterations in the power structure of the states, and
as a result the L.E.A.A. did massive damage to the state system.

In California the L.E.A.A. invasion was called “Project:
Safer California”. Supposedly, it was to reduce crime in California, but it
actually reduced the power of the people over their state government and the
republican form of government. L.E.A.A. acquired control of the state’s law
enforcement systems, (police, courts, corrections, etc.) for the federal
government and prepared the nation for a military system of government.’ It
also secretly acquired control over the handguns possessed by the
citizens which was not known to the general population -- and not realized
by the 17 Citizen Advisory Committees that were attached to “Project: Safer
California”.

Every state was involved with the L.E.A.A., although
California was chosen to be the pilot state. Ronald Reagan was chosen to be the
pilot governor.

The members of the 17 Citizen Advisory Committees in
California were selected to be the voice of the people of
California. These groups numbered about 467 people and they supposedly
represented the voice of 26-28 million people in California. Unfortunately,
those millions of California people did not know what was taking place or what
was happening in their name.

The 17 Citizen Advisory Committees were stacked. Not
only were these members unrepresentative of the 26-28 million people in
California, they were also subjected to the “consensus” trick under the Delphi
Technique, a management system, that admittedly was used in controlling
the decision making process of the Committees.

It is an established fact that none of the 17 Citizen Advisory Committees undertook a
study ofthe gun issue during their tenure;
however, a fraudulent act (a deceptive maneuver) was deliberately created
‘behind the back’ of all these Committees and all of the uninformed 26-28
million Californians who would later suffer from the damage.

This is how it worked: At the onset, for all of the new
“Standards and Goals” to be entered as final recommendations, submitted to the
governor, who was to approve them as necessary to the future operation of the
state, there was also expected to be “citizen participation”
and “citizen approval” of the changes being made in the operation
of the state’s law enforcement system (police, courts, corrections, etc.).
That’s what the 17 Citizen Advisory Committees were there for: to provide selection and guidance, public
approval, and ‘consent of the governed’. It really did not happen
in the subject of handguns.

The final work of these Committees was summarized and placed
into what was called the “Governor’s
Master Set of Standards and Goals”.The
“Governor’s Master Set of Standards and
Goals” was to become the law for
California despite all of the ill-advised federalization and militarization of
which these Committees did approve.2

While it is true that the 17 Citizen Advisory Committees did
much apparent damage to the operation of our free state, there was something
very serious that the 17 Citizen Advisory Committees did NOT do! They did
NOT study, summarize or approve the prohibition on the manufacture,
sale, or possession of handguns! They never touched the handgun subject! They
were disbanded without ever having any such discussion or subject
matter before them.

One Committee member who said she had “never missed a
Sub-committee meeting or a meeting of the full Committee, personally told me
that the gun subject was never brought up.” When the full Committee met, all
the sub-committee decisions were amalgamated.She said her Committee would have been the Committee that would have been assigned such a subject, but
they never engaged at any time in the subject of handguns!The important thing, now to
be aware of, was that there was NO “citizen participation”
and NO “citizen approval” whatsoever in the area of handguns.

The 17 Committees never studied, never recommended, never
consented to a prohibition on the possession of privately owned
handguns; nor to ceasing the manufacture and sale of handguns
within the state; nor to stopping cars and searching them
and the occupants of the car for handguns; nor setting up a surrender
agency for turning in citizens’ handguns.All of these commands were later to be found on the 340th page of
the Governor’s Master Set that was secretly inserted in the Committee’s
finalized work without their knowledge.

The governor was going to enact these disastrous
encroachments of the Second Amendment into law.He was supposed to approve the prohibition of all handguns owned
by citizens in the State of California since he was programmed to proclaim
the “Master Set” as operational law in California. The proclamation
was set for New Year’s Eve, December 31, 1974 (when no one would be watching).
Fortunately, the plan was exposed by citizens who found out what was in the
governor’s Master Set!

How did the citizens learn of the presence of Page 340 in
the Master Set? A brave Californian went into the L.E.A.A. office and argued
forcefully enough to obtain revealing records and pertinent L.E.A.A.
documents.Fortunately, he obtained a
copy of the Governor’s Master Set of Standards and Goals.It was because of the courage of this brave
man that the 340th page was found added in to the official Master Set of
Standards and Goals, which he then tried to expose.3The insertion of the 340thpage
(falsely) gave the authority to the state to deprive
California citizens of all of their handguns.

The important thing to
realize is that there was NO CITIZEN PARTICIPATION to approve the
contents of Page 340, nor its insertion!Court judges throw out projects that have
no citizen participation when it is required!Citizen participation wasrequired for anything that was a part of
the Standards and Goals of “Project: Safer California”!

Where was the CITIZEN PARTICIPATION to allow entry of
Page 340 into the Governor’s Master Set of Standards and Goals?There was none!Page 340 was sneaked in!It was not a part of the work that was
approved by the 17 Citizen Advisory Committees. Page 340 was entered into the
Master Set after the 17 Committees had been disbanded.The 17 Committees had never seen or approved
of the unlawful plans contained on Page 340!There is no doubt about it: Inclusion of Page 340 in the final work of
the 17 Citizen Advisory Committees was a fraudulent and criminal
act!I wrote the article entitled: “The
Blocking of a Charlatan” after a meeting with Governor Reagan that was arranged
for me. The purpose of that meeting was to stop acceptance of Page 340.

Reagan was on his last three weeks as California’s governor
at the time this all happened.Although
he was stopped, his successor was not.When Jerry Brown took over the office of governor in California, he
absolutely refused to give me an appointment so that I could make sure that he
was not going to carry Page 340 as operational for the State of California.

Proof that Page 340 was not dropped is found in the continuance
of the gun bills.The most
stringent gun law in the nation followed thereafter, and it was called the Roberti-Roos Assault Weapons Act.The governor who signed this
act into “law”, George Deukmejian, was the same person
who so anxiously, as a senator at the onset, introduced this federal project to
the state and coordinated with the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration.4

Notice the clippings taken from the newspapers, etc., that
follow the article “The Blocking of a Charlatan”.They give evidence that Page 340 is still
the authority for all the anti-gun laws being written by the state
legislature, and the state’s assumedposition that it can take pre-eminence over the Second Amendment in the
Bill of Rights.It is worth knowing
that California’s current governor, Gray Davis, was the Chief-of-Staff
under Jerry Brown. The Chief-of-Staff knows everything the governor is
involved in.He would have been allowed
to know about Page 340.It is no
surprise, when in these times, Gray Davis is quoted in newspapers making
remarks that tie in with a connection to Page 340.This fraud, as it is apparent, was carried through a
number of state government executives.

At the time of the confrontation with Governor Reagan over
the damage done by L.E.A.A., including Page 340,5I was not aware
of the defense we had available to us.It was not until many years after, while engaged in another battle, that
I was to learn of the critical importance and defense we had due to a lack
of “citizen participation” and the full spectrum of authority
held by a “citizen advisory committee”.

There is no statutory limit on fraud!Exposure of how Page 340 gained authority in
California should be told.Now, more
than ever, it is necessary to show that Page 340 was a crime committed against
the people and relate how it came to be!Exposure and successful action against this fraudulent act could roll
back all the related gun laws and infringements of the Second
Amendment that have occurred in the State of California since 1968.Perhaps, it is time for a
court case to be undertaken by organizations that have the funds
to finance such a case.

On September 23, 2003 while Gerald Upholt was a guest on a
radio program, I made a verbal appeal to him to partake of the action in
opening up this issue.He is the
Legislative Chairman of the California Rifle and Pistol Association (C.R.P.A.).The C.R.P.A. is an affiliate of the National
Rifle Association.The question before
us now is “Will C.R.P.A. go the last mile to defend the rights
of the gun owners of California?”

1 The California Specialized
Training Institute under Louis Guiffreda was started with L.E.A.A. funding
grants.The course it offered was
designed to teach on how to take over civilian government and put it under
military government.The standards and
goals, which were instituted for the transition of the state, were conceived
from military standards and goals.The
states have been revamped so that they are now in accord with
military concepts on a regional basis.

2 In order for the Disarmament Law
to prevail, the states are expected to cooperate in completely disarming the
citizens therein.The Disarmament Law
is known as Public Law 87-297, and its policies are publicized in State Department
Publication 7277 entitled “The United States Program for General and
Complete Disarmament in a Peaceful World”.

3 Because of his efforts to expose
what he had discovered in the Master Set, the police in his area arrested the
brave Californian and tried to bring him into disrepute.When he brought this discovery to me, he
told me how he had been discredited.He
asked me if I would ‘carry the ball’ since his reputation had been ruined, and
his chances to be believed were gone.I
looked over the solid evidence of the voluminous L.E.A.A. documents, and the
Governor’s Master Set with Page 340 in it!I agreed to take up the battle.

In the course of this, I spoke to a group called the United Republicans Of California, and
the Women for Constitutional Government, giving
all the details.A lady in the San
Diego area set up an appointment for me with Governor Ronald Reagan.She was seeking to dis-prove my statements that Reagan’s office was going after our
handguns.On the day of the
appointment, in order to cover up the shady dealings and fraudulent insertion
of Page 340, Reagan_kept_denying that the
gun issue was included in with the Standards and Goals.We had Reagan’s Master Set, his Flow Process
Diagram, and his related reference to “A National Strategy to Reduce
Crime”.Reagan bluffed all along.State Senator Bill Richardson and Senator
John Stull also denied that the gun issue was included as a part
of what they were doing in “Project: Safer California”. All
the people in the 12 person delegation that accompanied me believed that Reagan
was caught ‘red-handed’, and that he was lying, except
one person:the lady, who at the onset,
got John Stull to set up an appointment for a “Mrs. Smith”.Reagan tried in vain to cancel out the
appointment when he learned that the “Mrs. Smith” was the same Mrs.
Smith who had exposed him in a report called “The Overthrow of the United States Constitution — A Report on Regional Government.I forced him to keep the
appointment.The details of this
appointment are in the article that follows entitled “The Blocking of a
Charlatan”.

4 The Law Enforcement Assistance
Administration was instituted by the passage of the “Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968” also known as
the “Gun Control Act of 1968”.

5 Even though Page 340, under the
subtitle “Prohibiting the Private
Possession of Handguns”, lists the final enactment of the date to prohibit
the private possession of handguns in California as January 1, 1983, it is
apparent, that those who were responsible in the first place for fraudulently
entering Page 340 in the Master Set of Standards and Goals, have also moved the
final date upward for prohibition of all privately owned handguns in the State
of California.Among other things the
quality of resistance in the public sector necessitated an
extension ofthe date.
